Including filter system and high-performance Enteric Viruses filter.
Enteric viruses are tiny infectious agents that can enter drinking water when human or animal waste reaches a source. Because they’re invisible, water that looks clear in Woods can still carry risk. While these viruses are commonly a concern with private wells, flooding, or breaks in a distribution system, any household can benefit from knowing the signs and testing if you suspect a problem. A lab test is the surest way to determine whether enteric viruses are present in your water.
Viral contamination isn’t like a taste or odor issue you can sense; it may appear intermittently depending on conditions upstream, so a single sample or experience won’t always tell the whole story. That uncertainty leads many Woods homeowners to prefer a whole-house strategy that treats water as it enters the property, providing continuous protection for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and showers rather than only one faucet.
For enteric viruses, the most effective single whole-house option is ultraviolet (UV) disinfection installed on the main service line. UV systems inactivate microorganisms as water flows past a high-intensity lamp inside a sealed chamber, treating every gallon before it reaches any tap and doing so without altering taste. A correctly sized UV unit is matched to your home’s peak flow to keep disinfection effective even during heavier use.
UV systems perform best when water is clear and free of sediment or staining minerals that can block the light, so proper pretreatment matters. In Woods that may mean pairing UV with a sediment prefilter to protect the chamber and preserve consistent flow. Regular upkeep — lamp replacement on schedule and cleaning the quartz sleeve — keeps the system doing its job. With appropriate installation and maintenance, UV provides a simple whole-house approach to address viral concerns without adding chemicals to your water.
